The sound tracks are amazing. Always gets me.

When I was a child, I thought that this movie was a kind of comedy.. but it appears to be telling the real life of how Egyptians live and what are the differences between them and the other developing countries. Which turned that smiling face into a non-reaction one.

Great movie, it's absolutely fantastic. Not only is it realistic, nostalgic and funny, the jokes in this movie are one of the best they never make me stop laughing no matter how much i have heard them, but that doesn't take away from serious topics in the movie because it also has great meaning behind every scene or shot. The cast and actors did theirs part alright, from clean and beautiful shots to wonderful acting, the movie has deep meaning behind most characters and great life advice and quotes. Favorite Egyptian movie and the best Egyptian movie to be made in my opinion, the movie reflects how living in Egypt is like for someone who lived in a first world country their whole life, it shows that even if we live in different environments and cultures we are all the same humans. I absolutely adore this masterpiece.

Everyone is talking about the movie from the cinematic face, but none of them saw the real impact of this movie among Egyptian people, everyone believes that this movie was one of the major reasons that made the revolution of 25th January 2011, the obvious contrast in dealing with people whether they are Egyptian citizens or foreign tourists that was shown to people made people realise that they have a lot of lost rights, though there is a heartwarming vibe about Egypt and Egyptian family which inspired them to the title of the movie (Asal Eswed) which means dark honey or (Bittersweet) and that reflects the massage of the movie.

I love how funny and real this movie is. the perfect movie to watch in a family gathering on a weekend.
